Onion John: A Newbery Award Winner – A Story of Friendship Tested by Good Intentions for Kids (Ages 8-12)
1950年代ニュージャージーの小さな町で、少年アンディ・ラッシュと風変わりな隠者オニオン・ジョンの友情を軸に、共同体の善意と当人の自由のあいだにあるずれを描く児童文学。
作品情報
親切のつもりが、相手の暮らしを揺らすことがある。
Onion John は、やわらかな語り口の中に、善意が必ずしも当事者の幸福と一致しないという問いを置いている。少年の目線を通すことで、町の空気や大人たちの思い込みが自然に見えてくるのが印象的な作品である。

Great memories!
I remember this book so well from when I was a kid and even the cover illustration evoked memories. Through the years when chopping onions I have thought about Onion John biting into an onion! So happy to read this again, read it with younger generations and pass it on!

Classic
I vividly remember checking this book out of my school library in fifth grade. I bought this for my son who is in the third grade and has become an avid reader. I can’t wait for him to enjoy it as much as I did.

Great Story
I used to have this book in my classroom (I was teaching). I've read it several times, and now my grandchildren are at the age to really enjoy as well.
